AbstractWe report on the electrical properties of defects introduced in epitaxially grown n-Si by 1 keV He-, Ne-, and Ar-ion bombardment. Epitaxial layers with different O contents were used in this study. We demonstrate using deep level transient spectroscopy that the low energy ions introduced a family of similarly structured defects (DI) with electronic levels at ∼0.20 eV below the conduction band. The introduction of this set of identical defects was not influenced by the presence of O. Ion bombardment of O-rich Si introduced another family of prominent traps (D2) with levels close to the middle of the band gap. Both sets of defects were thermally stable up to ∼400 °C, and their annealing was accompanied by the introduction of a family of secondary defects (D3). The “D3” defects had levels at ∼0.21 eV below the conduction band and were thermally stable at 650 °C. We have proposed that the “DI”, “D2”, and “D3” defects are higherorder vacancy clusters (larger than the divacancy) or complexes thereof.

The electrical characterization of high-purity semi-insulating 4H-SiC is carried out by means of current deep level transient spectroscopy (I-DLTS). Measurements are performed by employing either an electrical or optical pulse (below/above bandgap). The study performed on as-grown material, either annealed or oxidized, reveals the presence of six levels with ionization energies in the 0.4-1.3 eV range.

Gallium nitride (GaN), grown by HVPE, was implanted with 300 keV Eu ions and then annealed at 1000 oC . Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and Laplace DLTS (L-DLTS) were used to characterise the ion implantation induced defects in GaN. Two of the implantation induced defects, E1 and E2, with DLTS peaks in the 100 – 200 K temperature range, had DLTS signals that could be studied with L-DLTS. We show that these two defects, with energy levels of 0.18 eV and 0.27 eV below the conduction band, respectively, are two configurations of a metastable defect. These two defect states can be reproducibly removed and re-introduced by changing the pulse, bias and temperature conditions, and the transformation processes follow first order kinetics.

AbstractWe report on the electrical properties of defects introduced in epitaxial 4H-SiC by 2 MeV protons using deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). After proton irradiation with a dose of about 1.5×1014 cm-2, the DLTS measurements were made, and the rate window shows a single broad peak between 280 and 310 K. The intensity of this peak remains unchanged after a thermal anneal at 900°C for 20 min. However, after annealing at or above 1100°C, the peak intensity gradually decreases with anneal temperature up to 1500°C, indicating a decrease in the defect concentration. Because a complete damage recovery of the SiC is not observed even after annealing at 1500°C, we believe a higher temperature annealing is necessary for a complete recovery. Using a curve fit analysis, a set of deep levels of defect centers were found with energy ranging between 567 and 732 meV. These traps do not exhibit a significant change in the trap energy or capture cross-section parameters as a function of anneal temperature, but the decrease in the trap density with increasing anneal temperature demonstrates a damage recovery.

ABSTRACTElectrical properties of As, Si, and [As+Si] doped GaN films grown on sapphire substrates by low temperature metalorganic chemical vapor deposition have been investigated using temperature dependent Hall-effect and deep level transient spectroscopy measurements. The Hall measurements from the GaN layers show that the concentration decreases with arsine flow (4, 40, and 400 sccm) at all temperatures. The carrier concentration of the Si-doped GaN, on the other hand, increases with the incorporation of arsine flow. This behavior is attributed to the formation of AsGa antisites which act as double donors. A deep level at around 0.82 eV below the conduction in the band gap of As doped GaN is measured by DLTS and is tentatively assigned to arsenic on gallium antisite.
